Want to speak at TED? Now you can audition

TED is offering anybody the opportunity to join the ranks of Bill Gates, Al Gore and Jane Goodall as a TED speaker. Starting this month, the organization will begin accepting auditions via YouTube and Vimeo videos for its TED2012 conference.

"We’re holding this audition to give a chance to the undiscovered talent we know is out there — and especially talent that can help us continue to reinvent the ancient art of the spoken word," reads the online application https://spreadsheets2.google.com/a/mashable.com/viewform?formkey=dE9qUDdXTHUxOXlHYldHZmwxTnpnZlE6MQ&ndplr=1 .
